Research projects on genetic diversity in human populations and animal species. Bioinformatics pipelines for data analysis. Screening of published genomic data and databases. Comparisons of ancient and modern DNA.

• Human population history across the Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic in Western Eurasia, with comparisons of ancient and modern genomic data. Admixture and gene flow. Genetic traces of early peopling in Sardinia. Mediterranean routes.
• Studies of uniparental lines (mtDNA and Y chromosome): population history, phylogenetic reconstructions, traces of ancient structure.
• Comparison of genetic and linguistic diversity: how culture and biology influence each other. Population structure and history. Genetic variants and linguistic predisposition.
• History of the South American continent before the impact with Europeans. Migrations, cultures, language families, domestication of animal and plant species.
